‘’The ears are like a mane of hair and she fits so well with the very masculine Minotaur. The minotaur and the ladyhare are my characters, my lovers.
The animal masks allow me to portray feelngs and positions that would be maybe rather too ridiculous or too suggestive if the heads were human. With the animal heads it all becomes perfectly acceptable." Sophie Ryder
